So... You should not be changing all 75 files or common headers to force this very much. My compile times from end to end are 4 hours best case, 19 hours worst case. I can rebuild in about 30 seconds normally just checking the dependencies. You are optimising the wrong problem. > Surely this difference is due to the time involved due to loading of > same header files again and again when it is #included in more than 1 look up ccache. This takes down my compile times from 19 hours to 4 hours, huge difference. -- Ken Foskey OpenOffice.org developer
